Delinquent Dragon

Repair and Relax

Out of Agares, and back in Japan, the group hosted a large banquet as highlights of the game were thrown around as much as all the food laid out. Fully healed up, the main participants certainly showed no shame in stuffing their faces.

"I have to say you really put on a show, especially that sub-species Balance Breaker, Asia. Negating damage like that should be reserved for a Longinus," Azazel spoke.

Asia blushed. "T-thanks. My Twilight Saint Affection still isn't perfect, and I'm not great when it comes to attack.

"By the way, Asia, why did the armour from your sub-species Balance Breaker look like Fafnir?" Irina asked, Xenovia nodding as she had the same question on her mind but bacon strips hung from her mouth and both hands were holding chicken drumsticks.

Azazel put a hand to his chin. "I'd assume the contract with her Dragon King has allowed her Sacred Gear to evolve and incorporate the dragon's power," he said, only to stay frozen at his own words. "Wait, it's because I turned him into an Artificial Sacred Gear before, right? This could affect creating others in the future! And if it can affect following Sacred Gears..."

Caught up in his own inventive landscape, the others allowed him to jail himself in his ramblings as they were all caught up in their own enjoyment.

Keiji rested on the sofa as Rias, Akeno, Gasper, Rossweisse and Yuuto were nearby. "I'm probably a broken record at this point but well done, Keiji. That final fight and your new armour was breath-taking!" Rias proudly spoke.

"It's the same with my Illegal Move Triaina. An amazing power but it's tiring, so I've still got some work to do," Keiji remarked, sealing his fingers tightly together at the potential.

A tail poked against his side, making him look to the grinning mother and daughter duo. "How about trying to add some Senjutsu to that?" Fujimai suggested.

"We'd need to have some private training," Kuroka sensually spoke, licking his cheek.

Shuri pulled him back with a smile reminiscent of her daughter's. "As lovely as that is, I think the boy should get rest. He's a very hard worker, and he's just fought tooth and nail for his group. Of course, I am available."

"I could try and use my Sacred Gear to help him," Ingvild pointed out. "I have to be the best I can as a Leviathan woman!" she remarked, making Keiji chuckle at Katerea's influence.

Held above Keiji's face was some yakitori chicken, two hands, both belonging to Ravel and Yubelluna. "Eat up to regain your energy," Ravel told him. "It'll give you energy."

Yubelluna smirked. "How naughty, Ravel. You want a go already?"

"No, I mean, yes. Well, he should just get better, but I wouldn't mind a turn whenever he's ready," Ravel admitted.

Keiji smiled. "Thanks," he said, opening his mouth and the girls fed him.

Rossweisse happily sighed as she took a bite of her bread pudding with cream and cherries, then looking to Keiji. "Well done on your victory! It was an amazing battle! I'm sure those of Valhalla would have trembled at it!" Rossweisse enthusiastically shouted, only to blink in confusion. "What? Did I get too excited?"

Gasper pointed to her cheek. "I think there's some cream on the side of your face, Rossweisse," he pointed out, making her blush in embarrassment and hurrying off to clear it before stuffing her face in while hoping that they just ignored that moment.

"I think you'll be happy to know that one of Sairaorg's major backers in his claim for his position within the Bael House tried to retire their support after her lost, but the backlash from the public forced them to retract right away. I'm sure it had an effect on the others who were planning to do the same," Yuuto mentioned with some amusement.
